We are you, the only difference probably is that at this juncture of our life we have some bandwidth available to put our ideas to action. And we have bandwidth to shift your idea and contribute to action.

India is reeling under the impact of a drought, and needs you to step up.

It’s been hotter than in previous years, for longer than maintained in records. Rain-fed regions are water starved because of poor water management strategies. Crop losses are aggravated due to poor crop and intercrop choices. Weak supply chains impact collection,
storage, distribution, pricing, and cripple agricultural potential. Rural economies are unable to leverage the potential of value added production and services, limited by resources and the capabilities to create profitable, sustainable enterprises. It’s going to be a while before things get better. The impending arrival of the monsoons is a reminder that focussed change efforts must start now, to take responsibility of our destiny. It’s time to contribute.

Last year the rains have been deficient in many of the states. Today about 10 states largely in North India are reeling under drought. About 33 Crore people in 300 Districts are facing drinking water problem. Cattle have little access to water and fodder.
With poor conditions there would be deaths due to heat, drinking water and food in humans and due water and fodder amongst cattle.
We have only about 45-60 days before monsoons when the needs of humans and cattle need to be addressed.
Government has gone into action , though late. With their capacity government will not be able to deal with all human and cattle population. People in remote places, far away from roads, with less clout away from media eyes will still suffer.
Can we , the citizens of India be only a witness to this crisis and do nothing? That will be a sad day when it happens.
We plan to link the following stakeholders through an IT based platform to ensure relief :
between those who have the need
those who want to help at the ground level arranging water, fodder and food
those who want to donate for the same
This platform will enable the donors link with needs of the population through the help of NGOs and volunteers.
